Asian Games Archery Team Announced; Tang Chih-Chun Leads Men's Recurve Team in Quest for Redemption

CNA, Taipei, June 1. The roster for Taiwan's archery team for the Nagoya Asian Games has been finalized. Tang Chih-Chun, known as 'Tang Bao,' will lead the men's recurve team alongside Cheng Hsiang-hui and Lin Tzu-hsiang. The women's recurve team features a new generation of athletes. Tang expressed confidence, stating, 'We must redeem our performance from the last games.' The 16-member training squad was selected through three trials held between last year and January this year. Following two World Cup events, the final 12-member roster was determined. The Chinese Taipei Archery Association appointed Liao Chien-nan as the head coach. Tang, a gold medalist at the Jakarta Asian Games and silver medalist at the Tokyo Olympics, was selected as the top-ranked player. He aims for both individual and team gold. In the previous Hangzhou Asian Games, the recurve team failed to secure medals, a trend they hope to reverse in Nagoya.
